Review of A BASKET OF TROUBLE in Kings River Life and Free Book Contest!

Yesterday, a review of my latest release, A Basket of Trouble, the third book in my Claire Hanover gift basket designer mystery series that features trail riding, appeared in the webzine, Kings River Life Magazine. In conjunction with the review, the magazine is offering a book giveaway contest for a free autographed copy of the book for those who leave a comment on the review. Please check out the review, and good luck in the contest!

Also, I submitted an article to the Mystery Readers Journal titled, "A Basket of Trouble on Horseback," for the Fall, 2013 Murder in Transit issue. That issue was just released and my article was included, so if you are a subscriber, please look for my byline. If you aren't a subscriber, now might be the time!

A Great Review for Fatal Descent and Other Links

I'm thrilled with a recent review that compared Fatal Descent, the latest release in my RM Outdoor Adventures series, with mysteries written by Nevada Barr and Dana Stabenow, both authors I greatly admire! As the reviewer said, "Groundwater has written yet another exciting and suspense-filled mystery that speeds along with a swift pace to its extremely compelling conclusion." You can read the full review on the Kings River Life Magazine website. You can also enter a contest there until August 10th to win an autographed copy of the book!

Sisters in Crime is also featuring the cover of the book on their website in the rotation at the bottom of the page. The rotation cycles through four displays of members' recent releases.

I've recently finalized plans to speak in the Local Author Series conducted in the Timberline Campus Library at the Colorado Mountain College in Leadville, Colorado on October 8th. You can read about the event, me and my books at their Local Author Series website.

Finally, the Summer Issue of Books and Banter features Fatal Descent in its mystery section. Just click on the words "Summer Issue" to read the PDF file.
